Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering is a difficult but hopefully rewarding experience. Along the way, I have taken many mathematics courses, and some are still looming in the distance. However, I have found that I have a knack for many of the mathematical coursework thus far. So I stepped into the world of tutoring upon recommendation from my Calculus professor. I have since taken great joy in helping peers understand mathematics. I take pride in lucidly explaining problems and seeing the "aha" moment unfold in their eyes. I find that explaining problem-solving procedures works best when tying coursework to real-world examples and analogies, and my students/clients seem to agree.
